Now I'm trying to figure out, since Toyota doesn't offer factory installed XM, whether to cancel the order for the nav system and install one of those does-it-all units (Pioneer makes one), or whether this Factory Interactive XM can be installed in a Highlander that already has the GPS system. I'm looking for something that doesn't "look aftermarket". If I'm going to spend this much money on a car, I want it to look good! Can this XM be installed in a Highlander with GPS, or does the GPS take up all the dashboard "real estate"?

TIA!
Your in luck, check this site out. Several folks on the board have installed this unit and it's great. I'm planning on adding in the future, when I can get over having to pay for radio service.....

I to am a little upset with Toyota, first they announced that XM was going to be offered on all their 2006's, then it changed to specific models. Just like the Auto door locks they advertised for the HH, that never made it to the production vehicles.

2005 Prius - White, Gray Interior, Option Package 6, Mud Flaps & Auto Door locks from Coastal


2006 Highlander Hybrid - Limited, White, Tan Interior, Nav, 4WD, Trailer Hitch

NOTE: On both the Prius and HH batteries are included with your purchase !
